Leo season - the fire sign of the western zodiac
The pattern of your day
Born on August 3, you turn toward a source all day without deciding to, and Leo fire is occasionally embarrassed by what it names.
A field of young sunflowers all face the same way, and they move through the day, and nothing about it is a decision.
You orient. There is always something you are turned toward: a person, a project, an idea of who you might become, and your whole attention arranges itself around that thing without any conscious instruction being issued.
Leo in early August draws from a source rather than generating in isolation. This is not a weakness in the sign, whatever the self-sufficiency literature suggests. What you produce, you produce because you were facing something.
The vulnerability is obvious. When the source goes, the orientation does not immediately find a replacement, and you can spend an entire poor season facing the wrong way, or facing nothing.
Nobody warns you that the source can be a person who has no idea they are one.
Knowing what you are currently turned toward is worth an hour of honest thought. Most people cannot name it. You can, and the answer occasionally embarrasses you.

What is a Birth Hexagram?
Your Birth Hexagram Triad is three things at once: a Primary Hexagram (who you are), a Changing Line (your growth edge), and a Resultant Hexagram (who you are becoming). It is computed, not guessed, from the Chinese lunar calendar via the Plum Blossom method.
